A benchmark for trustworthy clinical AI

A new study published in Nature Communications shows that today's pathology foundation models can be influenced by the origin of a tissue sample. Researchers at BIFOLD and Aignostics developed PathoROB, a first-of-its-kind benchmark to measure and reduce this bias, shaping how the next generation of pathology AI is built.

AI in medicine: new approach for more efficient diagnostics

Researchers from LMU, BIFOLD, and Charité have developed a new AI tool that uses imaging data to also detect less frequent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. In contrast to conventional models, the new AI only needs training data from common findings to detect deviations.
